Dialogue and speech centricity in the public sphere
This article examines how speech centric legal and public policy interpretations of the U.S. First Amendment – which guarantees constitutional protection for the freedoms of speech, press, religion, and assembly, from government constraint – tend to significantly impede democratic political discourse in the public sphere. Among other problems, speech centricity diminishes the importance of listening, adding to the crises of polarization and demon…

The speech we do not speak
This essay investigates three distinct modalities of the dialogic: dialogic mind, dialogic praxis, and dialogic ethics. Although each modality shares central dialogic characteristics of polyphony, polymodality, and polychronicity ( Bakhtin, 1981 , 1984 , 1986 ; Lipari, 2014 ), each also differs in important ways, some of which are lost by using the single word ‘dialogue’ to refer to them. Rather, I will here explore how the dialogic is not merely…

On interlistening and the idea of dialogue
Among the many analytical categories bequeathed by linguistics to the study of dialogue, some inadvertently conceal more than they reveal. In addition to instantiating such fictions as speaker and listener or langue and parole, these categories tend to privilege the study of syntax over semantics, utterance over gesture, speaking over listening, and words over everything else. Moreover, our underlying models tend to depict dialogue spatially as a…

Hansberry's Hidden Transcript
That Justice is a blind goddess Is a thing to which we black are wise. Her bandage hides two festering sores That once perhaps were eyes.-Langston Hughes1 When we consider the facts, certain chapters of American history will have to be reopened-Arthur Schomburg2 Many writers remind us that the literature of African-America is a literature of exile (Baldwin, Du Bois, Darsey, Douglass, Williams-Witherspoon). The African American novelist Richard Wr…

Listening for the Other
Despite their shared concerns with dialogic ethics and engagement with alterity, the discursive encounters between Martin Buber and Emmanuel Levinas were marked by miscommunication and misrecognition. This paper aims to trace the implications of these “failed” encounters for communication ethics. Beyond warning of the danger of the failure to make strange and see the other as wholly other, the story of the encounter between Levinas and Buber high…
Fearful of the written word”
In 1959, Lorraine Hansberry was hired by Columbia Pictures to write a screenplay for her award‐winning Broadway play, A Raisin in the Sun. By the time the film was released in 1961, over one‐third of the original screenplay had been cut. In this paper I undertake a rhetorical analysis of a particular historically contextualized instance of the cultural production of whiteness. Specifically, I trace the metamorphosis of “whiteness” through its jou…
Toward a Discourse Approach to Polling
This article presents a discourse model of polling that investigates what poll discourse is, how it is structured and how it functions. In contrast to most polling research, which presupposes polling to be primarily a psychological measurement tool, this article explores how it is primarily a discursive form of social interaction. Using the tools of discourse analysis, the model reveals that far from reflecting the beliefs and preferences of citi…
Polling as Ritual
In contemporary U.S. politics, the practice of consulting the latest poll has become a ritual like consulting the oracle was to the ancient Greeks. In this essay I argue that polling is not just an instrumental means to manipulate or reflect public attitudes, but is also a cultural form that sustains and affirms deeply held founding mythologies about community, democracy, and vox populi. By appropriating and controlling the terms of dissent, poll…
As the word turns
Because of the unique character of the Hill‐Thomas hearings, journalists were left without a stock political plot to render the proceedings in familiar terms. Using narrative and rhetorical analyses, the study examines how newspaper journalists turned to so‐called women's entertainment genres such as soap opera and melodrama to dramatize and ultimately depoliticize the hearings. The study identifies four recurring rhetorical themes—melodrama, ero…
